The all-new three-row midsize SUV concept was unveiled at the 2017 New York International Auto Show. The styling concept also confirms the name Ascent for the upcoming model.

With both its exterior and interior design following Subaru’s “Dynamic x Solid” design theme, the Subaru Ascent SUV Concept illustrates three-row capability and full functionality.

The exterior design of the concept follows Subaru’s “Dynamic x Solid” theme with powerful fender flares representing Subaru’s all-wheel-drive system and a grille denoting a true SUV look. The interior of the concept features a flowing dashboard design and a 7-passenger configuration with centre captain’s chairs.
